Powered by AIA point with x-coordinate zero is invariant when reflected across the y-axis, because reflection across the y-axis only changes the sign of the x-coordinate. Since the x-coordinate is zero, it remains unchanged .
Reflections A′(–6,–4) and B′(0,–4) indicate that opposite sides A–A′ and B–B′ are equal and parallel, serving the condition for rectangle alongside A–B and A′–B′, which are also equal and parallel due to reflection properties, confirming the rectangle's identification .
First, reflecting Q(–2,4) in the origin transforms it to (2,–4) by changing both coordinates to their opposites. Reflecting this point in the x-axis then changes the sign of the y-coordinate, resulting in (2,4).
Points C and D lie on the y-axis, with x-coordinate zero, resulting in no change in position during a y-axis reflection, confirming their invariance .
A rectangle is formed because reflecting A(6,4) and B(0,4) across the origin results in A′(–6,–4) and B′(0,–4). The pairs of points A-B and A′-B′ are equal in length and parallel, characteristic of a rectangle .
Reflection across the origin changes the coordinates of (0,k) to (0,–k). For this reflected point to equal the original point, k must be zero, ensuring both (0,k) and (0,–k) are the same .
Vertices A′(–2,2) and B′(–2,–2) remain along the y-axis, establishing vertical parallelism with points C′(0,–1) and D′(0,1), confirming that A′B′C′D′ is a quadrilateral, a four-sided polygon with no additional congruent sides or angles crossing the axis .
The transformation involves reflecting points A(6,4) and B(0,4) across the origin to A′(–6,–4) and B′(0,–4), establishing rectangle A B A′ B′. The side lengths are AB = 6 and AA′ = 8, so calculating the perimeter as 2(length + width) gives 2(6 + 8) = 28 units .
Reflecting point A over the x-axis results in A′(4,–6), and reflecting B over the line x=4 results in B′(7,2). Connecting these reflections with the original points A and B forms a parallelogram because the opposite sides AB and A′B′ are parallel and of equal length, as are sides AA′ and BB′ .
Vertices C(0,–1) and D(0,1) remain unchanged because they lie on the y-axis, making their x-coordinates zero. Therefore, their positions are unchanged during a y-axis reflection .
